Macedonia has never been far for us, Erdoğan says
Speaking at the Turkish-Macedonian Business Forum in İstanbul on Saturday, Erdoğan said that the Turks never saw the friends and brothers in Macedonia as people far away.
"I believe that our solidarity and discussions at the highest level will carry Turkish-Macedonian relations further," Erdoğan noted.
"Nowadays, we are taking steps in the Middle East and Russia and removing visa requirements. We want to see Turkish-Macedonian businesspeople working hand in hand in such regions," Erdoğan stressed.
"We have always encouraged trade with Macedonia and will continue to do so," Erdoğan said.
"Turkey's trade volume with Macedonia is around 350 million USD. This figure is not adequate," Erdoğan said.
Prime Minister of Macedonia, Nikola Gruevski, in his part said that the Macedonian government leases land up to 99 years.
"The Republic of Macedonia can offer land to Turkish companies," Gruevski said.
"Our common goals with Turkey are to reach EU standards, establish dynamic economies and have more strength in competition," Gruevski also said.
